Motorola made a big fuss about how the Xoom runs flash while the iPad doesn't; it was a strong marketing point. However it decided to release it with that major feature missing, something that won't be available for a few months. This is something that Apple would never do.

Didnt Apple make a big fuss about their revolutionary outside antenna? What happened then? The phone ended up with the now famous "the touch of death", only from apple.

You have to have a very selective memory to make such statement you just made.
